Law – Criminal Assignment 3- SPSS: ANOVAs.
- In a Word document, list the research question you used in Assignment 2. You may alter it if you were told there were errors or if it needed to be more specific (5 points).
- Add a third continuous variable to your SPSS database. Take a screenshot (not a picture -5) of both the data view and variable view of cases you have entered (show all). This should only be two screen shots. Now paste the screen shots under Number 1 above. If you were told you had errors in Assignment 2, and some people did, fix them before getting to this step. This must be corrected if you did not have the correct variables, the below will be incorrect.
- Run one independent sample t-test on the appropriate variables (one continuous and one dichotomy- 2 levels). Cut and paste that t-test table under the above screen shots. Interpret the results – the relationship between the variables you chose in a minimum of 3 sentences. Tell me what this means about your variables you analyzed in this step (20 points for this step).
- Run an ANOVA on the appropriate variables (one continuous and one categorical with three levels- like morning, noon, evening). Cut and paste the ANOVA table under the above. Interpret the results – the relationship between the variables in a minimum of 3 sentences. Tell me what this means about your variables you analyzed in this step (20 points for this step).
- Explain the p value (significance) and what it means about the relationship for both tests above. Use a minimum of 2 sentences per p value, you should have 4 sentences total(15 points).
- Run a partial correlation with three continuous variables, one of them is your moderating variable. Cut and paste the tables under the above p value question. Interpret your results in a minimum of three sentences. (20 points).
- Perform a Chi-Square test of independence to determine if there is a statistically significant association between two categorical variables. Calculate the Chi-Square statistic, degrees of freedom, and the associated p-value. Interpret the results – the relationship between the variables you chose in a minimum of 3 sentences. Tell me what this means about the variables you included in this test- remember it is a test of independence! (15 points)
- Save the Word document by your last names and Assignment 3 (5 points). Submit word document to the assignment dropbox by the due date.
